I’ve lost your email address but would love to reconnect. I am deep in a mess of scientific papers about plants that are hyperaccumulators. Most studies seems to involve chelating agents or other “helpers” but I’m trying to figure out just how much toxicity is to be expected in the aerial parts of so-called hyperaccumulators growing on polluted ground, as well as non-polluted ground where heavy metals occur naturally. I thought you might have some insights, or even resources to direct me to with this sort of info. The information I’ve found so far is from the perspective of using hyperaccumulators effectively to clean up pollution, not for the savvy forager trying not to poison herself.

Hope life is good.

Sincerely,
erica
